The Australasian Virtual Herbarium Map

Australian and New Zealand herbaria house over eight million plant, algae and fungi specimens. Herbarium specimens are an important resource for research on the Australasian flora and provide a permanent record of the occurrence of a species at a particular place and time.

The Flora of South Australia provides information on all vascular plants that are native to, or naturalised in the State. Most species are illustrated with line-drawings or photographs. There are also details on their distribution and ecology; identification keys are provided at all levels of classification.
